Warragul Rotary recently made a donation of $5,000 to Warragul disability service provider, Mawarra for the purchase of tablet devices for use by clients at the Centre.

“Support Services at Mawarra cater for over seventy adults with an intellectual disability providing a range of activities on a daily basis”, added Mike Lane. “Many client activities include a training component whilst others are based around leisure and recreational activities. Connection within the community is encouraged and supported through social and recreational activities, voluntary work and training courses”.
